  • Patent number: 12008198
    Abstract: A method and an electronic device are provided for compensating for changed touch sensitivity of a touch panel of the electronic device. It is detected whether a rollable display of the electronic device is expanded. It is detected whether the touch sensitivity of the touch panel of the rollable display is changed, in case that the rollable display is expanded. A rolling direction and a length of extension of the rollable display is changed, in case that the touch sensitivity is changed. It is detected whether a resistance of an expansion area of the rollable display is changed. The touch sensitivity of the touch panel is compensated for, in case that the resistance is changed.

  • Patent number: 11997225
    Abstract: A portable communication device in an embodiment may include a housing which forms an exterior of the portable communication device; a flexible display at least partially received in the housing and bendable with respect to a bending axis, the flexible display including at least one layer, an opening formed in the at least one layer; and an image sensor module at least partially positioned in a space formed by the opening, wherein the at least one layer may include a first inner side surface positioned in a first direction based on the image sensor module and a second inner side surface positioned in a second direction opposite to the first direction based on the image sensor module, as the flexible display is at least partially bent, the first inner side surface may be moved in the second direction, and if the flexible display is substantially flat, a first separation distance between a first side surface of the image sensor module facing the first inner side surface of the at least one layer and the first i

  • Patent number: 9654119
    Abstract: Provided is a phase locked loop (PLL) that generates an output clock signal corresponding to a reference clock signal. The phase locked loop (PLL) includes a divider configured to divide the output clock signal to generate a divided clock signal, a time-pulse converter configured to generate a time-pulse conversion signal that has a pulse corresponding to a phase difference between the reference clock signal and the divided clock signal, and a digitally controlled oscillator including an LC resonance circuit for generating the output clock signal and configured to control a frequency of the output clock signal that is determined to correspond to a time constant of the LC resonance circuit according to the time-pulse conversion signal, wherein a sustainment time of changed capacitance is continuously controlled according to a change in the phase difference between the reference clock signal and the divided clock signal.
